      Such beautiful, healing words. Danielle’s work is so conscious and filled with light.
    • 2/5
      Read this if you want to be bored and disappointed because you will be! When I read poetry I want to feel the emotional connection through the words from the author but it just seemed like I couldn’t understand. It’s a bit random and it reminded me of it as a knockoff of Rupi Kaur’s poetry books. There were only a handful that I actually liked, though.

      I love the concept of this book! It is very inspirational and lovely... continue to write these stories babe! Xoxo

    Book preview

    I Am Her Tribe - Danielle Doby

    for the seekers.

    keep choosing in the name of your heart.

    the invitation

    the aching

    the nectar

    the rise

    the sacred

    the alchemy

    come as you are.

    your breath can rest here.

    this is a story of becoming.

    the invitation

    a hymnal to my younger self

    one day you will awake with the craving for self-discovery.

    when this knowing arrives,

    and you feel the pull to go out into the world,

    my hope for you is that your story begins

    on the cool wood of your kitchen floor.

    you

    bare-skinned.

    sitting down.

    both eyes closed.

    one hand on heart.

    the other resting on your soft belly.

    this.

    this connection right here.

    is the wisdom of the women before you.

    and the tender infinite living within you.

    and if there is ever a time you feel lost outside of yourself,

    these guiding forces will always bring you back home.

    my hope for you

    is that you trust the teachings of what brings discomfort.

    that when you feel as if you are at the cusp of breaking open,

    out into the wild of the unknown,

    you step forward with both feet planted

    in your curiosity and wonder.

    my hope for you

    is that you greet your reflection with kind eyes.

    that you never look to someone else for your belonging.

    always moving from a space of worthiness,

    longing for nothing of addition or subtraction.

    my hope for you

    is that you never stifle in your own power.

    may you always carry the belief that your words matter.

    unafraid to sing your truth at the tip-top of your lungs.

    my hope for you

    is that you honor each moment in its entirety.

    that you choose your feeling over being numb + disconnected.

    owning every curve of life’s light and shadow sensations.

    for you understand that in the present moment is where your happiness is found.

    this.

    this is my hope for you.

    some days there is a pull

    for something more

    a glimpse

    of a distant vision

    that is just fingertip

    out of reach

    it’s as if my soul knows

    i can no longer be held

    by the earth i stand on

    my feet

    grown too large

    my cheek

    unable to feel

    the warmth of the sun

    i find myself moving

    in daydreams

    drifting between

    here

    and what could be

    what is known

    and what is becoming

    though it offers movement

    swaying in the center

    does not bring

    heart fulfillment

    so i must go

    i must move forward

    i must
